It seemed a bit unnecessary for His Majesty to deprive her of her imperial edict, but in fact he just wanted to make the punishment seem more severe.
The matter was resolved so lightly. Guo Gan was exiled to a humid and hot area like Lingnan, and he was never allowed to return to Beijing or leave Lingnan.
The ancient Lingnan, which is the modern Guangdong and Guangxi regions, has hot weather. Guo Gan, who was used to living in the north, was suddenly exiled to such a far place. He probably couldn't get used to it and had to suffer a lot because of his pampered physique.
When Mrs. Guo learned about this at home, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
She was not sad about losing her imperial edict, nor was she sad about her master losing his position as Minister of Rites, but she was sad that the only child in the family was ruined like this.
When Concubine Guo learned about this in the harem, she fell to the ground with a dejected look on her face.
Among the four concubines, she is the leader, her mother's family is the only one in Kyoto, and her father is a second-rank minister.
Her son is also the eldest prince. Since ancient times, the eldest son has been the heir to the throne. There are only two princesses in the harem. Her son is the most likely to inherit the throne in the future.
She had been anxious recently because her son was being incompetent and didn't want to fight for power. Now that her mother's family has fallen, all her advantages are gone. Even she and her son might be disliked by the emperor. How could she not be depressed?
Who knows how those other people in the palace would laugh at me and add insult to injury.
However, Helian Heng himself really doesn't care. It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. He has no other ideas anyway. As long as his mother and himself can live well and comfortably, that's enough.
Now that the imperial examination was over, he wanted to pack up and go to Jeju to chase his wife.
Xiao Hechuan watched the show, but he didn't feel much relieved, but his anger had subsided anyway. He saw Guo Gan being dragged out of the hall by the guards. He had a desperate and depressed expression on his face. His end was much more serious than his own in his previous life.
You deserve it, this is retribution.
After watching the play, he said goodbye to the emperor and prepared to leave the palace. From a distance, he saw Helian Jing also preparing to leave the palace. The two looked at each other, just nodded and smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
It is not allowed to let people know that they are friends now.
However, this scene fell into the eyes of Helian Heng who was walking behind.
When he saw this scene, his inner guess was further confirmed.
Xiao Hechuan was also reborn. When in Jeju, Bei Moting met Xiao Hechuan by chance. Although his acting was very natural, he still found something suspicious in him, so he asked someone to check him out.
He discovered that Xiao Hechuan's life trajectory had changed drastically. He was no longer related to the Ye family, but instead had a wife who was not supposed to exist.
There are also family members who should have died, but are still alive and well.
From that time on, he suspected that he was also reborn like himself.
And just now, the look between him and Helian Jing showed that they had known each other for a long time.
Xiao Hechuan noticed a line of sight behind him, so he turned back subconsciously, and seeing that it was Helian Heng, he bowed to him:
"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"
"So he is the top scorer. It's true that people are in high spirits when good things happen to them. I haven't congratulated him yet." Helian Heng still looked lazy, with a relaxed smile on his face, which was unfathomable.
Xiao Hechuan didn't say anything, just smiled politely.
"The number one scholar has not even taken up a position yet, but he has already won the love and appreciation of the emperor. It seems that it is inevitable that he will be granted a title of nobility or become a prime minister in the future."
"Your Majesty, the King of Chu, is too kind. I am terrified!"
"Why are you so nervous? Judging from your appearance, you have the good fortune to be promoted to the position of Prime Minister!"
After these words were spoken, Xiao Hechuan frowned slightly. He was pointing at himself. He was indeed reborn as well.
But despite this, Xiao Hechuan chose not to show it:
"Thank you for your highness's appreciation. I will borrow your good words to express my gratitude to you!"
"What's good about power? I feel that power is nothing but a passing cloud. I just want to live my life to my heart's content and want nothing else. Then I want to see all the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daqing with my beloved. I heard that the champion is from Jeju and the king will go to Jeju in a few days. If the champion has a letter or something good that he wants to bring back to Jeju for his family, I can take it to him for you."
Helian Heng's series of words seemed to be just casual chatting, but in fact, he was expressing his attitude to Xiao Hechuan in this way.
He is a smart man. If he was reborn, it is not difficult for him to guess that he was also reborn. He was telling himself that he no longer needs to regard himself as an enemy in this life. He is no longer interested in power.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have sent the letter home, and I don't have anything good to bring back. I wish Your Majesty a smooth trip to Jeju and that you get what you want!"
Judging from Helian Heng's various bad behaviors, it seems that he is really not interested in imperial power in this life, and he is more interested in Fang Miao.
He and Fang Miao had a love affair in their previous life, and he realized how deeply they loved each other when he was dying. In this life, he was following the script of chasing his wife.
As long as he doesn't make trouble, he can go after his wife if he wants to. Xiao Hechuan wishes him success.
Anyway, Fang Miao's identity will soon be revealed, and the two of them can be considered a good match.
…
Half a month later, the palace duly delivered the number one scholar robe tailored for him. The bright red robe and the number one scholar hat with flowers on his head were delivered. Xiao Hechuan put them on. Against the backdrop of the bright colors, he was truly the most handsome man in the world.
To describe a man as the most handsome man in the world shows that Xiao Hechuan is extremely handsome.
Jiang Sui was mesmerized by what he saw. He felt that this journey through the book was worth it. The only time he took the initiative in his life brought him a lifetime of cheerfulness.
Not only did she become a boss, but she also got a husband who is both talented and handsome, and who always puts her first in everything.
The guard of honor came early in the morning to pick up Xiao Hechuan for a horse parade. This horse parade was held only once every three years. The scene was so grand that people from all over Kyoto came to watch.
At that time, the Yulin Army will follow throughout the process to maintain order. The people will stop on both sides of the road, stretching their necks to watch. The teahouses on both sides are already crowded today and the seats have been reserved.
Generally, people come to see the Tanhua scholar, because the Tanhua scholar must not only have outstanding talents but also outstanding looks.
But it is rumored in the market that the appearance of the No. 1 scholar is unique, even better than that of the No. 3 scholar, so everyone comes here today just for the No. 1 scholar, wanting to catch a glimpse of his demeanor.
Xiao Hechuan rode his horse and walked at the front of the guard of honor. The runner-up and third place winners could not pass him and could only walk on both sides. It was just like being the moon surrounded by stars.
Xiao Hechuan sat on the horse with his back straight. Unlike the other two who had bright smiles on their faces, he had a blank expression and looked rather serious, but it did not prevent everyone from focusing their attention on him.
